Narsingdi: The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) yesterday opened a Satata Store (Integrity Shop) at a school in Narsingdi aiming to help school children practise honesty, reports UNB.
ACC commissioner Dr Nasiruddin Ahmed formally inaugurated the store at Narsingdi Sadar Ideal High School in the afternoon.
Satata Store, a unique move of the Commission, will keep in display the goods school kids usually buy. There will be no sellers at the store as school children will take items they want from the shop and put the prices of the items in the designated cash box on their own.
Dr Nasiruddin said the ACC is setting up the Satata stores as part of its National Integrity Strategy implementation.
He said the national anti-graft agency will set up two Satata stores at two schools—one of boys and another of girls—in every district on pilot basis.
“We hope such integrity stores will help school children improve their sense of morality. And this is how they’ll learn to practise honesty from school level,” the commissioner said.
